After Effects 22.5 previewed only five frames when there was not enough memory for it to cache frames for preview. With a new update in version 22.6, it also displays a low memory warning banner.
After Effects low memory warning
After Effects version 22.5 attempted to cache five frames for preview even when it crossed the memory allocated for After Effects in the RAM available for option in the Preferences dialog box. (See Memory preferences).
With the new updates in After Effects version 22.6, you also get notified with a low memory warning banner and informs that it would extend the assigned RAM to cache the frames for preview.
Scenarios when After Effects may not have enough memory to cache frames for preview and reduces the preview range significantly:
- The memory specified in the RAM available for preference sets the available memory for After Effects and Premiere, Character Animator, Media Encoder, Photoshop, and Audition. If a number of these applications are open, then the share of the allowed memory for After Effects is low. See Increase available memory for After Effects.
- Third-party effects also share assigned memory and can contribute to high memory usage. This shrinks the preview range as you continue to work on the project. See Identify effects that do not release memory appropriately.
If the workaround does not help, you can identify and remove effects that are contributing to high memory usage and not releasing memory appropriately.
Once you have identified the effect that is causing this issue, report it and avoid using this effect.
